About 10 years ago I spent many hours in front of Mercury 5.0. I switched to a Mac and always dreamed of getting back to Orbiter. Recently my Wife was going to toss her old Dell with XP on it so I stepped in and saved it. Thought it was a good chance to get back to Orbiter.
About a week later and I am totally having a ball! I have installed, uninstalled, deleted, copied and all in between about a hundred times. The old Dell is pretty slow so it takes a LOT of time. I have stuck to Orbiter2010 for now.
Why can't I use the msi installer after I delete an Orbiter folder? It always makes me go thru the uninstall process and it looks like its doing stuff, even though I deleted the folder.
FWIW, I have been playing with modifying Add-ons. Its educating, frustrating and I often CTD because I miss something. EX. One of my favorite spaceships is the X-37B. I just wanted to play in orbit and land it so I had to do some modifying to liber's excellant add-on. It got me familiar with all of Vinka's stuff for sure and I'm getting there
